Welcome Christmas Ice Skaters

Yes, I know… deja vu all over again!  I added the skaters and their reflection to a very similar card that I did last December.

The skaters are from the ‘Welcome Christmas’ stamp set (view it here).

I saw the reflection technique done by simply stamping a piece of acetate in ‘Going Gray’ ink and then pressing it down to transfer the image in reverse.  The gray makes a better reflection and since it isn’t permanent like the Black StazOn (like the skaters are stamped in, so you can wipe off the acetate and use it again).

To view a video on how I did the background sponging technique and masking for snow, click here.  What the video doesn’t show is that I created a second mask for the ice pond.  By sponging around the edges of the ‘pond’ mask, it creates the last truly ‘white’ area for the ice.

Sets: Scenic Season (#115354 Wood only), ‘Welcome Christmas’ (Stampin’ Up!’s Holiday Mini Catalog set).  Accessories: StazOn Black ink, Going Grey ink, Whisper White cardstock, Bashful Blue cardstock, Inks (applied with ‘Sponge Daubers’) So Saffron, Pink Pirouette, Bashful Blue, OTHER:  2 x 4 piece of acetate

    That is a totally amazing and astoundingly clever card, I LOVE the way the shadow turned out. Have seen the reflection technique so many times before but using this stamp set with it really creates the feel of movement. In one word WOW!! thanks for sharing
